Top 8 – Uses for the 5-Gallon Bucket

If one were to swing by the winery on any given day, chances are that a 5-gallon bucket would be nearby and put to good use. So, recently we asked Assistant Winemaker Shawn Bruce for a bit of insight on this handy tool. Here are his ‘Top 8 Uses for the 5-Gallon bucket’.

1. a basket to carry things – including anything on this wall

2. a helmet – there may just be a story behind this one. No picture needed

3. a scoop for grapes – from harvest bin and into our presses “Lucy” & “Ethel”. We scoop A LOT, all season long.
